Ashleigh Young may get around to filing her Spinoff review maybe this time next year.

7 Belgravia (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, $38) by Julian Fellowes

A jolly good Fellowes.

8 This Must Be the Place (Tinder Press, $38) by Maggie O’Farrell

9 A Little Life (Picador, $25) by Hanya Yanagihara

10 Tuesday Nights in 1980 (Hamish Hamilton, $38) by Molly Prentiss

“In one sentence, Ms. Prentiss captures a sense of intoxication and possibility that six seasons of voice-overs from Sarah Jessica Parker never could…Ms. Prentiss concludes her novel on a note that’s both ethereal and brutally realistic. She cauterizes wounds, but they’re still visible and bare. But for her characters—for this promising author—it’s enough.” —The New York Times.
